lyrics

[Solo: CPD]

I wake up with the sun
And it shines down on me.
I have come undone.
Darkness all I see.

Kissed by the lips of this avarice.
Victim of this hateful lust.
There is no forgiving this.
What’s been wronged is always lost.

This Christ preaches a fantasy,
A dream where he is king.
Made to bow down to him.
Made to serve him ceaselessly.

Blessed hateful servant,
Made to kneel and crawl.
Crushed by the anguish.
Crushed by the weight of it all.

Kissed by the lips of this avarice.
Victim of this hateful lust.
There is no forgiving this.
What’s been wronged is always lost.

I surrendered to you,
Bowed to your hateful screams,
You have swallowed my sunrise,
The light that let me dream.

Now these thoughts they come for me,
They beg me to leave.
No hope, no sleep.
The end is calling me.

Kissed by the lips of this avarice.
Victim of this hateful lust.
There is no forgiving this.
What’s been wronged is always lost.

Under the night sky,
I glimpse what I lost

[Solo: CDH]
[Solo: RJL]

From atop this rock,
I see you build
Your doomed creations,
You are one of them,

Believing every begotten
Son is damned,
Just like you are,
And so you condemn.

Wrong.
Always wrong are we.
So you believe.

Wrong.
Always wrong are we,
For we let you live among us.

Get out
Of this house.
Get out
Of this life.
Get out
Of this sanctum.
Get out
Of this sacred place.
Get out
Of this life.
